How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Huffard Animal Hospital
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

No complaints at all. Dr. Greenwood was very friendly, welcoming and informative. I felt comfortable bringing in my new puppy for his first visit. The animal hospital was clean, organized and had separate waiting areas for cats vs. dogs. Would reccomend any pet owner to visit this practice. They gave my puppy some snacks during the vaccines and microchipping so he was distracted. He was a little nervous but eventually warmed up to the staff after their treats! I'm not familiar with vet bills/costs but I think their pricing was reasonable. Our first visit included 1 month heartworm/flea preventatives, comprehensive wellness physical, vaccines and microchipping. The total cost was $230.

I just wanted to share that I had an emergency for myself. I needed to drop my My dog CeCe Off for boarding unexpectedly and on very very short notice. The whole staff was very obliging, and did all that they could help me get through my emergency. I would highly recommend Huffard Animal Hospital Inc as they truly do care about the pets and their owners.

Although I had gone to Huffard for years, I left during Covid because I would be on the phone for hours at a time waiting for someone to pick-up, and I couldn't go inside with my pet. I really liked Dr. McCafferty, and when I found out she had left, I knew after Covid had settled down, I wasn't going back. I don't really like the care where I am now taking my pet so I decided to try Huffard once again this November. I "absolutely" love Dr. Greenwood. Although the price is high, she is so caring, and I even believe my pet Biscuit loves her too; (but maybe not so much the shots she gave him). 😆I have only been back once now, and next week is our second appt. Also, the staff there is great!

I’m 66 and have never had a worse euthanasia experience in my life. Have experienced at least 12 end of life scenarios with a myriad of vets but this was by far the worst. Misplaced the catheter which in turn didn’t allow the sedative to work on our beloved cat and then brought to us our cat to administer end of life medication which ended in a blank stare from the so called professionals and then admission that they botched the administration of the end of life medication due to displacement of catheter. All the while our cat was suffering due to their incompetentence. Their final solution was to end our beloved pets life in another room and then bring them to us the deceased to say our farewells. We were there for a brutal 2 hours. No excuse for this. Just a horrible experience.

My dog Sadie had a back issue about a month ago and with her old vet not being up to my standard I decided to look for a new vet. Had our first appointment at Huffard today and I was honestly blown away with Dr. Plitt. She answered all my question and sat down on the floor with my fur baby. I felt comfortable and I did not feel rushed at the appointment. I have finally found a vet I can trust and am so happy with the visit. Thank you Huffard and thank you Dr. Plitt!
